PS4/Switch "PixARK" reveals "tames" to tame dinosaurs and powerful creatures to join them!

Spike Chunsoft has released information on the "taming" of dinosaurs in "PixARK" for PS4/Switch, scheduled for release on Thursday, July 4.

PixARK" is an open-world dinosaur survival action game that uses blocks to represent the world of the hit game "ARK: Survival Evolved," which was released on PS4 in October 2017 and has shipped over 200,000 units to date.

After waking up on a mysterious island, players can freely enjoy fighting and coexisting with dinosaurs, hunting, gathering materials, and building bases in a cute block world. The game's main attraction is its multiplayer mode, which can be played by up to 70 players.

The game also features a "Tame" function, which allows players to tame dinosaurs, as well as powerful creatures that can be made into friends.

Let's tame your favorite dinosaurs with "Tame"!
In this title, you can tame dinosaurs and other creatures. The method of taming differs depending on the type of creature, so you need to find the right method for each creature. Once you have tamed a creature, you can have it participate in battle or ride it around the world on your back.

Carnivorous creature taming
Aggressive creatures such as carnivorous dinosaurs must be tamed while the target is stunned. Weapons such as wooden sticks and arrows of sleep are effective in knocking them out. The creature will wake up after some time, but you can extend the time it is stunned by feeding it fruits that have an anesthetic effect.

Taiming herbivorous creatures
Non-aggressive creatures such as herbivorous dinosaurs can be tamed without being stunned by directly feeding them food. While this is less dangerous, it is important to be careful not to lose sight of the tamer as it moves around.

Insects and zombies
Insects and zombies cannot be tamed because their intelligence is too low.

You can use "taming" to make them your friends! Introducing powerful creatures!
Tyrannosaurus
Tyrannosaurus is one of the world's largest carnivorous dinosaurs. It is extremely ferocious and attacks everything. Even in this game, in which many magical creatures appear, Tyrannosaurus is one of the most powerful.

Megalodon
A giant shark that lived on the Earth in ancient times. It boasts overwhelming strength, and since there are very few creatures that would attack a megalodon, it makes underwater exploration easier if it can be tamed and ridden.

Werewolf
Werewolves roam the dark forests. Legend has it that werewolves transform into werewolves on nights with a full moon, but the werewolves in this work are always in this form. Because they are mysterious and ferocious magical creatures, they cannot be tamed.

Ice Bear
A white bear that lives in the land of ice. Its back is covered with a shell of ice, and it is so powerful that even wolves can avoid it. However, it is relatively mild-mannered, so there is little need to fear it as long as you do not touch it.
